Idea's and Inspiration

I'm loving this months NZ House & Garden Magazine, like lots of house magazines you can often buy it only to be disappointed by the content and lack of inspiration but I can honestly say this does not disappoint. I often post images of grand homes but I love posting homes that are equally as beautiful, not huge, but filled with character and style.

A closer view of the inside of this quaint pool house. I will definitely use this idea in my next home.

I just love the idea of a pool house but if your funds are limited keep it small and stylish, the secret is to add walls so that you can create built in seating, add wall lights or candles creating an outdoor room that you can use and looks stylish.

I have an obsession for white timber houses (as you can tell) I want to start renovating homes as a side line Business with my partner, so I'm gathering heaps of inspiration, i'snt this home just gorgoeus? I love, love, love it and look what's in the backyard!

Now thats what a call a grown up cubby, loving the idea of the outdoor cafe in your own home, what fun entertaining. If I had the funds I would love to build this in my back yard, I can so see me serving cupcakes to eager little children on lily's birthday party or afternoon tea with my girlfriends, hubby thinking great Bar for the guys, studio/office I could go on and on....
